Windows Application
The DRV8811 Windows Application is the software counterpart for the DRV8811 EVM. It is in charge of
connecting to the MSP430 microcontroller via a USB connection which in turn selects the proper logic
state for the DRV8811 control signals.
The graphical user interface (GUI) has been designed to allow for all of the DRV8811 device’s
functionality to be tested without having to intervene with the hardware, except for the proper configuration
of jumpers when needed.
